A bit of tedium I'm hoping to avoid.

Yup, that's the sort of thing I want.

Don't be dang pedantic! And note that the word I
used was "pedantic" and not the word which describes
the primary characteristic of certain local clergy...

The heck you can't! Just escape it with backslash:
sed -e 's/^/http:\/\/servername\//'
It's so cosmic that you said that right in the middle
of a discussion of how to generate escape sequences...
And you can, in fact, use ';' (as well as the other characters
you mentioned) most of which would result in a less cluttered
expression than that backslash-escaped approach of mine.
